Communal grazing and range management: The case of grazing associations in Lesotho
Outlines the principles and practices of fodder-bank establishment and management in the sub-humid zones of West Africa. Summarises data that indicate the benefit of fodder banks to subsequent crops.
Low feed quality, short periods of grazing each day and the need to search for forage are all constraints on cattle productivity in most parts of Africa. From the literature reviewed, it was observed that many factors affect the intake and utilization of feeds and that no single factor controls i...

Optimal utilization of legume fodder banks and low quality roughages by grazing cattle.
There are three cattle based dairy production systems in the better-watered regions' of Kenya namely: the semi-intensive dairy-meat-draught-manure system which uses predominantly pure East-African Zebu mainly in the western uplands and coastal regions; the small scale intensive and semi-intensive...
Grassland-based systems are no longer seen exclusively as livestock production enterprises but as multiple use systems with important consequences for the global environment. They are crucial for the protection of ecosystem goods and services, for tourism and for mitigating climate change. Well-m...

Undersowing sorghum with stylo as a means of improving fodder quality for dry-season grazing of livestock in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was investigated. Planting either Stylosanthes guianeusis cv 'Cook' or S. hamata cv 'Verano' simultaneously with local or improved varieties of sorghum reduced...
